About This Home
Looking for a quality built home in a beautiful natural setting that is close to Durango and a variety of recreational opportunities? This just might be the home for you! Situated on a corner lot in The Ranch community in the picturesque North Animas Valley, this one-level ranch style home has much to offer. You are welcomed to the covered front porch via a foot bridge over a babbling brook, surrounded by lush landscaping. In fact, one of the highlights of this home is the abundance of water all around, with trout streams and ponds to enjoy, with the added benefit of irrigation water for all your outside watering. INTERIOR: Upon entering the home through the tall front door and roomy entryway with art display niches, you are drawn into the spacious, open great room consisting of living, dining, and kitchen areas with glass doors opening to the back deck and beautiful mountain views. Features include vaulted ceilings, gas log fireplace, chef's kitchen with plenty of counter space, updated appliances, breakfast nook with window seat, pantry, bar area w/sink & mini-fridge, and plenty of room for a large dining table. This home works great for entertaining your family and friends. The floorplan offers the primary bedroom suite and office on one side of the home, and two bedrooms on the opposite side of the home, which provides privacy and comfort. The private office/den has a wall of built-in shelving and windows to enjoy morning sun. The unique half bath is located next to the office and is adjacent to the great room. Entering the spacious primary bedroom suite you will find a glass door to back deck, not one but THREE closets including a huge walk-in closet, and an elegant 5 piece bath with travertine tile, jet tub, double vanity, and large walk-in shower. Two more bedrooms and full bath are located off the kitchen, plus the oversized laundry room with countertop for folding clothes, and access to the oversized two-car garage. There is an unexpected finished and heated bonus room off the garage, which was originally designed as an artist's studio, with picture windows and outdoor access. EXTERIOR: New roof, new back deck with composite decking, pergola, attached garden shed, and beautiful mountain views in many directions. The exterior of the home has been recently stained and is in excellent condition. The flowers and mature trees make this a park-like setting. COMMUNITY: Meanwhile, back at “The Ranch” . . . there’s a slice of paradise, surrounded by panoramic views, trout ponds and the red Hermosa Cliffs. Securely nestled in the North Animas Valley, The Ranch is like no other residential community in SW Colorado. Over the years it has quietly grown into a community of homes and people who enjoy the outdoors, the Colorado lifestyle, and appreciate the conveniences and values of a planned community. Ownership entitles owners to use of common amenities such as a 30-acre wildlife preserve along the Hermosa Creek, trout fishing, tennis & pickleball court, RV storage area, extensive common ground areas, abundant irrigation water, and the privacy enjoyed with mature landscaping. Enjoy the beauty of the serene ponds and streams meandering throughout the community.
